Just an honest, unedited look at some of the final moments of one of our fellow thinking, feeling animals who wanted to live.
All who insist that killing animals isn't the horrible practice animal
advocates know it to be, who insist that the animals remain calm, are
unaware of what's about to happen, and go contentedly, obliviously to their
deaths need to
watch this video that's been circulating in recent days.
It is not graphic--that is, we do not see the animals being shot in the head
or their throats slit open or their bodies hung up by one leg. No, what we
see (and hear) is perhaps even more devastating. We see an animal alone,
trapped, terrified, and looking desperately for an escape from what awaits
at the end of the chute. There is no narration. No background music to evoke
emotion. Just what really happened, just an honest, unedited look at some of
the final moments of one of our fellow thinking, feeling animals who wanted
to live.
Once again, vegetarians and meat-eaters alike should pay equal attention.
The cows and calves killed for dairy die just as, and have the same
heartbreaking fearful experiences as, the animals killed for meat, and they
want to live as much as the animals killed for their flesh want to live.
Watch through to the end.
